Me too

My 'problem' is not that I feel bad other's don't understand me or im scared of them, It is that I feel trapped. I cannot adequate express my the many thoughts and ideas in my head. I know what I want to say but lack the right vocabulary

Throughout my whole life I felt behind of people my age because of my inability to express myself clearly or deliver a good speech or just plainly communicate my thoughts. I recently realised how this is linked to my unwillingness to engage with other people. I have always tried to avoid interacting with people as much as I could. I was just so determined not to let anyone get any close to me.. So as it is the case with anything else, the more you practice something the better you get at it. I'm now realising that if I truly want to overcome this issue then I really need to go out there and meet with people and work on my communication skills. I don't think there is another way or a magic wand to help you fix this, so..

Wow!!! I feel like I’ve just found the missing piece to this whole puzzle 🧩 that I’ve been battling with my whole life. I guess I need open up my heart and learn to engage with others more often. Makes so much sense.

I’ve never heard someone explain the cycle better EVER. I have such a difficult time expressing myself fully and it makes me so depressed everytime I have these situations where I bite my tongue and hold emotions in.

It’s like ur talking about me. Every little thing I do I feel like im being judged even when no one is around. I feel ashamed of simple things like dancing when I’m alone. I’m feel like someone is always watching and ready to judge. Even when I take step outside my door I feel that the whole fucking neighborhood is judging me. Sometimes I agree to shit I don’t even want to do which might be the result of the masking you’re talking about. makes me more pissed at myself for caring this much.

I’m feeling exactly like this

For me, im now at the point where i have this other person always watching me. Any single thing i do, i always try to see how that other person sees me from afar. Sometimes i even think of how another person reacts to how this other person sees me. It's really sad. There's no single thing i do in public that i haven't thought about immediately after i do it. It's like a default setting in my brain and i always know im doing it but i cant just help it. Why can't i just do things and not realize i even did it like a normal person??? The annoying part is knowing i am actually a very free and funny person when I'm alone or with my family. I know people will definitely enjoy me if I just do the things i do alone around them. But i just cant seem to do it. Another thing is when I've been with certain people for a while and they already know how my "false" personality is, its hard to just decide to change and be my true self because they'll feel ita fake.

Feels good to know that there's constructive solutions out here. Fear of expression like dancing, singing, jokes, ect... has been a huge blockage for me my whole life. Learning to tap into my authentic self

When I was really young, I could express myself with no problem, just like every other kid. People and family told me I talked too much. They would get mad at me for saying what I thought or playing too much or being too loud, etc. I thought I was being a kid. Don't remember when it happened, but I became very self-conscious and retreated really far into my shell. I just kept to myself. All of a sudden, I'm too quiet, I don't express myself enough, "you're acting like a robot." I just couldn't win. No matter what I did, said, or thought someone would be upset with me. So I stopped trying all together. I'm 25 now, and though it's not as bad as it used to be. I still have no idea who the real me is and have no idea how to express myself.

all this advice flies out the window when someone was raised in an environment where it was physically unsafe to speak up your truth. this needs a deeper insight if you truly want to help people. what you say can help people with light or mediocre anxiety. to heavily anxious people this is very shallow.

i wish i would have found your channel like ten years ago. Truly thank you

this video doesn’t have enough attention it deserves. this needs to be something everyone should be educated on because ever since i was little i’ve been going through this and i don’t blame my parents for it since i didn’t know how to explain this feeling.

Thank you for this video it spoke directly to me. I have been suffering with this my entire life and now feels like a mountain to climb now that I'm in adulthood and noticing what is actually happening. Its gotten a bit better but I have chronic episodes where I can't express myself even with my own family and I know people perceive me as an "a hole" sometimes or don't even continue relationships with me and it sucks. Makes me think this is just who I am and that it cannot be fixed. But seeing your video and just observing the world around me gives me some hope it will get better as life goes on. It's like I missed the important experiences as a child that shapes others personalities and now I have no childhood knowledge subconsciously to fall back on and feel almost like a robot when around people.

When the case is one to one i become quite very open , but when its 4 or more people i automatically tend to speak less and Sometimes tend to listen less when there are more people. Its just like not so interested in too many people hearing you. But from now on i will change myself. Thanks for this powerful video.

I needed this video!!! Thank you so much! I couldn't understand why I was so unable to just express myself and sometimes I even just stopped talking mid-sentence because I was scared of hurting someone if I opened my mouth and said the truth. I was thinking that maybe I was dumber than others or that I had a mental illness but never linked it to my tendency to overthink every word coming out of my mouth just so people would like me and not get hurt. Thanks! I'm guessing it'll take some time to put into place but the processus is started! God bless!

Thank you so much, this video definitely help, you had me in tears the whole video. I took everything to heart and I know what I have to do. I am stuck in fear of perception of other but I need to free myself from that judgment.

This is so real. I grew in a household where silence is more appreciated than expressing yourself. And maybe that's the reason why my love language is word of affirmation cause I rarely hear anyone from our home expressing love and support though their actions show. But I am breaking this chain, cause I believe that everyone is unique, that life could be more awesome when there is no judgement. Just let it out with a GOOD INTENTION.

the problem with expressing myself is that it doesn't come out the right way and I mainly get misunderstood but I'm working on improving that

That's me afraid how others will judge me. I do think my way out of it. I Look how someone else is perceiving me. Some may not like you and be okay with it.

İ really thank you Rafael , I relate to it so much and that 's what I needed , I feel you were literally addressing me , I love listening from people that went through same experiences as me ..that was so helpful ..me too actually I struggled a lot with overthinking everything😢.. i still feel it but I am seeking my confort .. doing things that I love and never puting pressure in my self ..caddling my self , accept it , love it , being connected with it in brief being authentic as you pointed out ..I will break my shell ..the world need my energy I love everyone here in the comment section , happy to find some who share the same feeling with me , I believe in you, you are so valable ❤just keep going never stop ,,never put pressure on yourselves if you don't care about yourselves who wil! l

Bravo. How you spoke to your audience with so much care, joined with the music in the background made me feel so comfortable and ready to try the steps you were talking about in the video. I am almost 25 and have struggled with social anxiety and not being able to express my true self all my life and I pray that everyone who has this problem would break free and let their voice ring. ❤

I thank God I found this old video. I tried to speak to the camera today and it was disastrous.

I just want to clarify that I’m not alone with what I’m going threw feelings wise i finally got my assignments done and this is where I’m going to go every day and express myself because it makes me feel better I’ve not been found with depression but i can feel it going threw my blood I’m a happy teen on the outside but sad on the inside my thoughts is what’s keeping me alive my family is keeping me alive without them I’d probably be dead.

Thank you! Im really glad for watching your video! I knew I had this problem, and this video finally taught me how to break free from it.

In my case, I am 2 years older than my classmates and due to this I had to behave like them. There childish conversation don't interest me but I forcefully talk to them. In this process I lost myself. I always try to normalize the conversation no matter how important it can be. Due to other reasons I stopped getting angry, sad and not even able to cry. This isn't easy I want myself back.

I finally found it!!! Rafael, I saw your playlist about personal development and I'm in desperate need of it right now. As a result, the channel is a hidden gem.💎❤️

This is the beat video I've watched so far

Thank you🙏. This was a great video, its just that it made clear those confusing thoughts in my mind that kept me holding me back. I guess it's all about accepting ourselves as we are and stop judging ourselves too much, as if we weren't humans who have flaws, and make mistakes like other people, everyone is strange in some way, trying to make others think we are perfect is an impossible pursue. Also what I've noticed its the more I express myself the more the fuzzyness in my head that makes communication harder dissapears, and the more I can express myself in a fluid and natural way, it's a repetitive process that goes on, and that leads to becoming our true selves💪.

thank you for your content and encouragement. It really helps to realize that there are emotions there, like worries, anxieties, when we feel being stuck in the middle of expression. And trying to logically analyze the emotions and the hold back thing is just efforts in vain. Wow, this is really good content. Never thought of it before.

I know i’m a little late to this video but i really appreciate this because u described my situation perfectly and i thank you so much

My takeaways from this vid. ✨"Once this happened, then I can finally be able to... " - this is so relatable to me. I always say this as an excuse whenever I plan on smth. ✨"Just Do it anyway. No excuses. No reasons for y u can't do it. Just reasons for y u should do it. " ✨*Holding back myself to be authentic. -- I often hold back what I really wanted to say bc I always think of what others might think of it or smth like this. ✨Think long term.

Thank you so much this gives me a soothing relief that I can overcome this. Ever since I was a child I lacked the nurturing to be expressive and now it’s telling on my self esteem. Now am aware and working on being better as this is key to my career. We are now in a world where you need be able sell yourself with your mouth or you die poor. Am even more glad that my kids won’t face this cos am aware.
